A VOICE FROM THE PAST
The late Dr. Joe Temple of Abilene was the first bible teacher to venture onto the radio airwaves of KRBC's powerful outlet with 15-minute daily verse-by-verse bible lessons in 1939. The radio outreach continued until his death in 1995.

You might be surprised to hear his voice again on one of three Abilene stations. Tommy Walden, producer of the former program, “Lest We Forget” has reformatted and renamed it, “Discovering Bible Treasures”. You can once again hear Temple's teaching on the following stations Monday through Friday: KYYW, 1470 AM, at 6:45 a.m.; KWKC, 1340 AM, at 6:05 a.m.; and KVVO, Inspirational country radio 94.1 FM, at noon. If you miss those times you can also hear the program on demand online at: evidences.org.

The newly formatted program is being aired currently on these stations for a six-month trial to determine listener response. If you want to hear Temple's teaching again be sure to let the sponsor (Discovery Bible Church) know by way of email: dbcabilene@gmail.com or by regular mail at P. O. Box 123, Abilene, TX 79604.
